franklin411 Posted June 16, 2012 Report Posted June 16, 2012 I've been bidding $90-$120 for 3.5-4* hotels in the Dupont, White House, and Capitol Hill zones for the last 2 months to no avail. Today I went for a 4* in all three zones for $135...nothing. Then 3.5* for $125..nothing. Finally 3* for $120 and got this hotel. It seems just OK, but I'll be flying in on the red eye to Philly, train to DC, and then research at the Library of Congress. I'll probably be too tired to care, and I'm staying at the very posh Dupont Circle Hotel on the 21st (already made a thread about that).FYI, I googled around and there are tons of conventions in town that week. This is the most I've ever had to pay for a hotel in DC, and I've stayed in the best (thanks to PRICELINE).I've been using the HOTWIRE / PRICELINE links throughout.
thereuare Posted June 16, 2012 Report Posted June 16, 2012 Congratulations on your success! Sorry to hear this cost more than usual, but if the town is as busy as you say i'm glad to see you were at least able to get some deal thru PRICELINE. DC is an area where rates can quickly spike out of control when there are large / multiple events in town (and rates can be very inexpensive when there isn't much happening)Thank you for sharing your win and using the PRICELINE links on the board to begin your bidding. Enjoy your stay. Please use this HOTWIRE and these PRICELINE LINKS: HOTELS, CAR RENTALS, and AIRFARE to begin your travel purchases
